Gottasing, I don't know, in all honesty. I think we're coming to the end of Sturgeon's rule, fwiw. We've a country that's split fairly evenly between Yes/No for indie and I don't know if we really have an idea of where we're going, post Brexit. Obviously we face huge bills post-Covid and the economy is not in a brilliant place.
Lack of investment in infrastructure is beginning to show, and for me personally, I've lost all faith in the SNP as a government. I had thought they were positive and forward-looking; I now see it all as empty gesture and soundbites. They will not listen to anyone who counters their positions, not questions, not good reasoning, not anything. It's all built on fantasy and glamour and trying to differentiate themselves from Westminster.
There are some highly worrying things happening wrt the judiciary, the media and police etc. I don't know if because we're a small country we are especially prone to cronyism and too easy to corrupt. We have no second chamber, no effective opposition, nobody to put the brakes on the SNP/Green drives. No checks and balances. The brave women who fought for things like the 'six words' amendment in the Forensic Examiner legislation are all gone from the ScotParl, I think. Any politician who wants a career and/or to avoid being targeted is likely to keep quiet.
I'm pretty sure the GRA will be pushed through, and then I think women in Scotland are going to be in a pretty bleak place. No single sex services, no single sex spaces, the loss of our rights under the EA, and Police Scotland clearly on board with prosecuting/arresting/questioning any woman who dares question that narrative, as we've seen with Marion Millar. Women in prison will continue to be subject to being incarcerated with males who 'feel like a woman'.
Everything will be 'mixed sex', no exclusions, and the word 'woman' will no longer mean female, but be based on an undefined inner feeling.
As for children/young people - anyone non-gender conforming, gay or lesbian, who have body image issues, are at risk of being told they are 'born in the wrong body' and can change sex.
Women's services are already losing out to 'gender neutral' services (see Women's Aid) or being taken over by people pushing a 'queer' agenda (see Edinburgh Rape Crisis). Schools are being taught they don't have to disclose serious issues with children/young people to parents. And the 'queering' of education continues with things like the recent 'sex census'.
We will have 'gender ideology' and 'gender identity' forced on us against the wishes of the electorate (without their awareness, for the most part).
Perhaps I'm wrong, and worrying unnecessarily, and everything will be for the best in this best of all possible worlds. Rainbows over everything in a brave new world. Women will 'learn to cope' and children will be comfortable with picking and choosing body parts according to which stereotypes they prefer. Boundaries will be blurred and everyone will live their best lives?
We shall see.
